Appraisal
This glebe house makes an interesting small group with the Church of Ireland church and the school house in its grounds. It was extended by one bay, losing its symmetry, although the slight setback allows the original form to be discerned. The regularity of its fenestration, the well crafted porch and the hipped roof, punctuated with chimneystacks, create a pleasing elevation.
